EYE CREAMS & SERUMS

Fight fine lines, dark circles, and puffiness with Kiehl's eye creams and eye serums. Up your skincare game with expertly curated formulas designed to protect the delicate under eye area and help maintain a bright, youthful complexion no matter your skin type.

What does eye cream do?

The area around the eyes is typically the most skin fragile across your complexion and is therefore prone to developing visible signs of ageing sooner. Quality under eye creams are formulated with a specialised combination of skincare ingredients designed to target the specific needs of the skin around eyes, like puffiness, fine lines, dullness and sagging.

Is eye cream necessary?

Eye cream is an at-times debated element of skincare routines. While some experts swear by their uniquely targeted formulas, eye cream has its naysayers too. Your skincare routine should be tailored to your specific complexion concerns, so it really comes down to whether you’re looking for extra support in the eye area. Beyond hydration, Kiehl’s eye creams are infused with targeted ingredients that can reveal brighter, smoother, and plumper skin.

Eye cream vs eye serum

Similar in texture to moisturiser, eye creams are typically rich formulas designed to nourish the skin around the eyes with deep hydration to plump and refine the skin. On the other hand, eye serums have a fluid consistency that can absorb quickly. They may have a more potent formula to address skin concerns around the eyes, though serum formulas will still be gentle.

The best eye creams and serums

Find Kiehl’s eye creams and serums best suited to address your skin concerns.

Eye serum for under eye circles and bags

A serum or under eye cream for dark circles should help to strengthen skin and boost brightness. Choose an eye cream for dark circles enriched with radiance inducing, antioxidant rich skincare ingredients.

With botanical extracts to improve the look of ageing skin, this formula can instantly brighten dull under eyes with illuminating minerals and uses sodium hyaluronate to help hydrate and refine.

How to apply eye cream

It’s important to be gentle when applying any product around the eyes to avoid pulling or tugging on this delicate skin. Though moisturiser is typically understood to be the final step in a skincare routine, eye creams with a richer texture than face cream can be applied last instead. A pea-sized amount of eye cream can cover the area around both eyes. Use your ring finger to gently tap in the formula, following the shape of the eye contour.

How often should you use an eye cream or serum?

Eye creams and serums can be applied daily in the either the AM, PM or both. If adopting under eye creams into both your morning and evening skincare regimes, choose distinct formulas with ingredients that can best address skin concerns at these different times.

Adding eye cream to your skincare routine

Step 1: Cleanser

The first step in any skincare regime is to purify skin with a gentle face wash to ensure a clean base that allows other skincare formulas to properly absorb.

Step 2: Tone

Replenish and rebalance your complexion with a hydrating toner.

Step 3: Facial serum

Facial serums and oils should be tailored to your specific skin concerns, so choose potent formulas enriched with relevant targeted ingredients.

Step 4: Eye cream or eye serum

Eye serums should be applied before moisturiser while eye cream can be applied before or after face cream depending on which formula is richer in texture.

Step 5: Moisturiser

Deliver hydration and lock in your skincare regime with a nourishing moisturiser as the final step.

Frequently Asked Questions

Discover answers to common eye cream questions..

Does eye cream help with eye bags?

The skin under the eyes is typically quite thin, lending it a slightly translucent quality. This allows deeper blue or grey tones to emanate through from underneath the first layers of skin. To minimise the appearance of eye bags, creams and serums enriched with hydrating and brightening ingredients can be a powerful tool in your skincare arsenal. Support eye bags with Powerful-Strength Line-Reducing & Dark Circle-Diminishing Vitamin C Eye Serum.

Should I use eye cream at night?

Eye creams and eye serums can be applied as part of both a morning and evening skincare routine, but distinct formulas should be chosen as skin’s needs evolve throughout the day. Eye creams are ideal in the evening because their rich consistency works to keep skin hydrated through the long hours of sleep, delivering complexion benefits when skin is at its most permeable.

Does under eye cream work?

Can you put eye cream on eyelids?

Eye creams are designed to be applied under and around the eyes, but it’s not a good idea to extend their use across the eyelid. Not only can formula get into your eyes but for most people it’s not necessary as the concerns eye creams and serums work to address don’t typically appear on the eyelids. Focus application under the eyes using the orbital bone as a guide.

How do you put eye cream on correctly?

Eye cream should be applied toward the end of a skincare routine, before or after moisturiser depending on the consistency of the formula. Starting at the inner corner of the eyes, apply a few small dots up to the brow bone. Then, using your ring finger, gently tap the formula into the skin in a circular motion until it’s fully absorbed.

Can you put eye cream on your face?

Ultra-hydrating Kiehl’s eye creams balance a combination of carefully selected skincare ingredients that can best support the fragile skin under and around the eyes. Finding the best moisturiser for your complexion is a skincare essential, and while eye cream can double as face cream, concerns tend to differ across the face, so it’s not typically recommended. For those with sensitised or dry skin, the gentle nature of eye cream can be suitable to support other delicate areas, like around the mouth and nose.
